“For there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.”

William Shakespeare

“For there is nothing fun or boring, but your attitude makes it so.”

Guiseppi Soranski

You can always look at any situation from different ways. What determines whether an activity is easy or hard is the way you look at it. It is your attitude that makes an activity happy or sad. And since you have complete control of your thoughts, why would you choose sad over happy when doing any task?

Make writing your letter fun. Here are five ways to help you make it fun.

Reward Yourself

Give yourself rewards for completing pages. After you finish one page, have some chocolate. After you finish two pages, have some ice cream. After you finish 100 pages, go on a vacation. The key is to find what really works for you. 

Be Messy

Any attempt at perfection during the first attempt at anything will only result in disappointment. Realize that when you write, it will not be anything near perfect the first time you write it. Just get some thoughts down. That is victory. That is something to be happy about.

Be Authentic

Write about what you care about.

“Find a subject you care about and which you in your heart feel others should care about. It is this genuine caring, not your games with language, which will be the most compelling and seductive element in your style.” — Kurt Vonnegut

Find Your Inspirations

There are a billions ways to be inspired and to help get your creative juices flowing. I think the easiest and best way is the internet. You don’t even have to stand up from your laptop and you can visit a billion web sites and find a million sites that pique your interest and get your motor running. 

Just A Little

Just do a little bit of writing. Give yourself a specific limit to your writing so the daunting task is doable. Tell yourself you will only write 100 words or write for 20 minutes. You can handle 20 minutes and when you are done you will be victorious. Winning is fun.
